We used Hello Fresh for our service. We got like a 3 meal package, and we opted for vegetarian meals, just to try a lot of new foods and to live a little healthier. It was great for us since we lived in a small town and didn't have any restaurants to choose from, but it was expensive. We ended up doing it once a month.

I think if we were richer, we'd still do it, but we stopped due to just prep time. We'd get the ingredients and we didn't think half the stuff sounded good, so then we wouldn't make it, etc. Wasted money some weeks.

I've worked with UHC members who have used this service. These services profit big time on taking the time of meal planning and grocery shopping out of the healthy, home cooked meal equation. While I wouldn't buy it for myself, I could see gifting it.

Seems like it would be much cheaper to find a recipe online and get the ingredients at the store.

The part where this actually makes sense is most of the meals use ingredients I would never buy nor would I use them again. So instead of buying a big bag of this weird ingredient I have just enough to use once

Hello Fresh had most food and best tasting stuff. not worth it but you can get first week for around 20 bucks. THen you just cancel and after awhile they offer 50 percent off so you can get for 30 instead of 60.

Takes way longer than it says and sometimes its really tedious stuff just for appearance
